Josey Sumpter '18 Recruiting Profile

I love softball!!! I have found a sport that I love and am good at.  I started young just for fun and then became better and more competitive.  I never thought I could be where I am now and am looking to go beyond high school.  Of course my ultimate dream would be softball to be back in the Olympics and play on Team USA.  Back to reality,  I would love to play in college.  With this game, I have become so much more disciplined.  I have a softball workout activity everyday.  I try and keep a healthy lifestyle without being ridiculous.  I think of myself somewhat as a team leader.  No matter how bad it can go in a game, I know as a pitcher, I can not show defeat.  Being on the mound I try and show determination for my team. I am a very respectful and coachable player.  I am a hustler who does not walk on or off the field.  I will play anywhere a coach asks me.   Besides pitching, I would be considered a utility player.  Love center field!!  Am considered a power hitter and bunter.  I am very organized, with school study, pitching and hitting lessons.  On academics, I am on the A honor roll.  I have an almost perfect attendance record and play all HS sports.  Happy to say, make varsity teams while being a freshmen.  I am looking at a possible medical career in the future, in sports medicine.
